I don't like or use Xtol but I use a Rubbermaid bucket to mix my 5 liter Hypo Clearing agent and have a five liter jug that Rapid Fixer Part A came in that I marked at exactly 5 liters, so I mix at almost the final volume and then pour out into my jug and make the final volumetric adjustment. Your could also just mark the bucket to exactly 5 liters and then pour off your developer into smaller bottles, a good idea anyway to minimize developer oxidation. darkroommike ---------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "sergio" <sergio@village-buzz.com> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 10:59 PM Subject: xtol and what to put it in... > > i really like xtol developer, but the biggest beef i have with it is the 5l > packaging.. > > is there some sort of european container that this fits nicely into? > > am i missing something? > > and finding a 5l container to mix it in is a pain, too... > > any help out there? > > > ___ > peace, > sergio > www.village-buzz.com - "the village buzz" > www.mp3.com/village_buzz - "the rock n roll, baby!" > www.coffee-black.com - rock photo! > phone ... 419 606 0557 > to subscribe to The Village Buzz, send a blank email to: > VB-Announce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com > www.amazon.com/o/registry/3L7DM7FMR5OQU <- buy me some swag! > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.476 / Virus Database: 273 - Release Date: 4/24/2003 >
